Four Color #534

In "Western Marshal," Sheriff Dan Mitchell navigates the fragile peace of a frontier town split down the middle—gamblers and saloon keepers on one side, merchants and law-abiding citizens on the other. With tensions simmering and both sides dependent on each other for survival, the sheriff must uphold justice without tipping the balance. Written by Ernest Haycox and illustrated with sharp, evocative detail by Everett Kinstler, this 1954 Four Color adventure captures the quiet tension of frontier life. The cover, by William George, perfectly frames the town’s divided heart.
